WEEK IN REVIEW: Lions continue to add to roster

What's general manger Bob Quinn's philosophy on roster building?

"I think the best way to build a football team is through the draft," Quinn said Thursday evening. "And you can supplement through free agency when you have some real serious needs. That's my philosophy and that's the best way to build this team long-term.

"I think it's really important to not get into the hype of free agency and see these other teams go crazy because over the long haul that doesn't work. Not in my opinion. I want to build this thing the right way and build it for the long-term."

Although Quinn doesn't believe in the free agency hype, that doesn't mean the Lions are standing pat.

With the draft less than a month away, the Lions continue to add to the roster with the free agent signings of cornerback Darrin Walls and offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz.

Check back next week for more posts starting with defensive end Shaq Lawson on Monday.
